Great clear versions of the songs

I love this album. I was a teenager in the 80s when Roy Orbison had a resurgence in popularity. This album was released then with his re-recordings of the songs on much better sounding equipment. Yes, they are not the original versions he recorded in the 60s, but I think the quality is much better and they are in very much the same style. These are my preferred versions.
This is not the real Roy Orbison

Yes, it is Roy Orbison's voice, but it sounds like the originally backing instrumentation and backup vocals were all replaced by some cheap software tracks and different singers. The change is obvious from the moment you play the first track that these are not truly the original recorded pieces. I should have given a test listen before purchasing, but I don't think it is unreasonable to assume that when you see Roy Orbison as the listed artist, you are actually getting the familiar, original versions of these classic songs. I would give this zero stars if I could. Shame on you, Apple.

This Roy Orbison Album is not from 1963 like the label says. The album contains all new recordings and was produced by Barbara Orbison. The album was originally released in 1987 by Virgin Records before The Traveling Wilburys and Mystery Girl, and I have all three on CD from when they were released. These are by far favorite versions of the songs, but I was not around when the songs came out in the 60s. I really enjoy Roy's older voice and the high quality studio recordings on these songs from the 80s.
